Mindless Still

The mindless would be my knitting to which I am referring. But if you thought it meant me - well, you wouldn't be the first.

This weekend, we had some driving to do to attend a family reunion. With lots of passenger-seat time, I finished tier two of Tink's Twirly Skirt and about an inch of tier three. I am in love with the colour of my Tink's but having never before knit a skirt, I am reserving judgement on the look of my hand knit skirt in the real world of wearing. The range of imagined looks runs the gamut from hand-made/hippie to high-end, one-of-a-kind. The latter has been my vision and inspiration and obviously my aim, but as said - judgement reserved.

Regardless of the outcome - rip it or wear it - the knitting of Tink's is FUN! Round and round and round. Easy peasy with colour changes providing the motivation to go faster, faster, faster.

I completely agree with you about technology driving the need for mindless knitting. I have the wifi, I have the wee portable device, I have the laptop. What I don't have is a cell phone. I'd like to stay that way for a while longer if I can. My fondest wish is that they are an expensive passing fad. I think I am wrong though, more is the pity.
